Investment Banking publishes sourced finance explainers, case studies, and commentary. These standards describe how posts should use evidence, distinguish opinion, and handle corrections.
Editorial decisions should be based on evidence and reader value. Payment, gifts, sponsorship, or access must not determine a post’s conclusions. Any commercial relationship relevant to a post should be disclosed where readers encounter it.
Posts should identify the sources for factual claims and distinguish company statements, allegations, forecasts, and established findings. The revised archive uses desk research and AI-assisted editing. Its source links do not imply independent interviews or outreach to the people discussed.
Represent relevant disagreements fairly and assess claims by the strength of their evidence. Equal space is not required for claims with unequal support.
Readers should be able to see the basis of a post. These are the blog’s standards:
Disclose relationships that could affect how a reader evaluates a post. Sponsored material, paid placements, and affiliate links should carry a clear disclosure close to the relevant content.
Contributors should disclose relevant personal, professional, and financial relationships before publication.
Paid or sponsored material should be clearly labeled so readers can identify its commercial purpose.
Include personal information only where it helps readers understand a matter of public interest. Avoid unnecessary identifying or graphic details.
Send corrections, source suggestions, or concerns to editorial@investment-banking.org. Include the post URL, the specific point at issue, and any supporting record.
